Here we are for Day 30 of the series of that I’m moving over from my old blog that scheduled ahead of time while I’m recovering from shoulder surgery. Gina Homolka from Skinny Taste recently published a beautiful book. I have loved her recipes from her blog. When I had the opportunity to review her book, The Skinnytaste Cookbook, I was delighted. This is not a diet/weight loss book. Gina is encouraging throughout the book and provides healthy food facts and eating tips, that are so easy to implement. I plan to try some of these tips and as well…

Here we are for Day 27 of the series of that I’m moving over from my old blog that scheduled ahead of time while I’m recovering from shoulder surgery. I am a choc-a-holic, so when I was given the book called Chocolate for Every Season by a secret pal at work one year, I knew they knew me well. This Fudgy Mocha-Almond Pie is on my must try list! This book is a must read cookbook because it has such a great variety of recipes that include chocolate. It has a section for gifts to make, which is great for…

The recipes I want to try include Missouri’s Catfish Wraps, South Dakota’s Pumpkin Streusel Sweet Rolls and Rhode Island’s Apple-Cinnamon Oatmeal Bread…among others. If…

Here we are for Day 23 of the series of that I’m moving over from my old blog that scheduled ahead of time while I’m recovering from shoulder surgery. I am probably in the minority in that when I get a cookbook, I read it like a novel; cover to cover. The Kitchn Cookbook: Recipes, Kitchens & Tips to Inspire Your Cooking is 304 pages of absolute cookbook “gold”! Many previous reviews of this book said this book was great for those new to cooking or who are just starting out in the kitchen. I tend to disagree with that,…

I’ve cooked several recipes from this book and have really enjoyed them. They are a crowd pleaser, as well. I’m wanting to try the Tomato Pie as well as the Chicken Fajita Chowder. This book…

Vicky has a beautiful kitchen that has a wall of built-ins filled with multitudes of cookbooks of all kinds. I could sit in her kitchen for days just reading them all and eating Vicky’s amazing cooking.…
